John J. Kim, Chicago Tribune

Who: Todd Thorsness, 22, from Saskatchewan, Canada, student at University of Saskatchewan. Seat: Standing room only. Paid: $400 on Stubhub; face value is $125. Why he's here: Got it two weeks ago, "the minute after they beat L.A." He and his friends got to the United Center around noon, and were among the first to rush into the stadium to grab a prime spot in the standing section. "I love the Blackhawks," he said. "I want to see them win the Cup."
